Hey, it looks like you're waiting for ideal conditions to do that thing you've been wanting to do. Need I remind you that ideal conditions do not exist and will never happen?

Same. I don't want to start Discourse, and I know a lot of trans people like it and use it and that's fine - but I've never liked it. I'm not a third gender or some combo gender. I'm a woman. My symbol is ♀️.

What Derek Chauvin did to George Floyd was a public extrajudicial execution. Keep that in mind when you say we haven't had a public execution since 1936. We have, actually. Many times. They're called police murders.

The thing many people don't understand about discrimination is that it means you can never count on anything. When straight white cis people order a cake, they get a cake. When I order a cake, I might get a cake or I might waste hours and get nothing.

Just over two years ahead of you. The last seven years have been revelatory in so many ways, almost all of them good.

"My body loves this stuff" I think I spoke those exact same words on an early follo-up with my doctor, in 2019. Sadly, I kept it waiting longer than I should have. But better late than never.

Yeah, but if it decides to end it all, it might have a very expansive definition of "it all".

Jillian Whitton 🏳️‍⚧️, rising @jillianw.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Yeah, it's scientifically incoherent. There are lots of ways to define it (genotype? fertility? phenotype? hormones? a mix&match combination) and none of them work like transphobes would have you believe. None are binary. Few are immutable.

True on both counts. About six hours over two sessions earlier this year, and I have subject, location, and (probably) artist planned for #2 in a few months.

One of the nice things about my commute: I live on the North Side, and the office is further north. So I'm going against the tide both ways, I always get a seat on the train, and I'm usually in as good a mood when I get there as I am right now. May we all shine today. Out of spite if nothing else.

At about year 3, I shifted from "eww, surgery" to "VAGINOMANCY RIGHT NOW THIS SECOND!" I wonder how common this is?

Transition is a lot of stress and a lot of work. But it's work you were meant to do. You have a community to support you, and there's tremendous joy to be found along the way, from things you cannot imagine. You've got this. ❤️🫂🏳️‍⚧️

If we haven't done what we're told and either detransitioned or walked into the sea, we're activists.
